Last I was paying attention, all of the major dem candidates (except maybe pete, to the extent he is one?) are showing every sign of tearing up Trump in the general. And fairly legitimately, not that "well, actually the polls are neck and neck but let's not mention that" crap. That won't be an easy or clean fight, but it's one I'm not as worried about as what comes after given how much the shitgibbon has pissed off the country.
Warren isn't polling any better vs Trump than Clinton was in 2016. Sanders is.
I'm utterly terrified of that race. I think we all should be. No one thought he could win in 2016 either. He did, it was a major upset. Confidence and playing it safe aren't going to win this and people's lives very literally depend on us making the right choice.
I'm really sorry things are so hard for you right now, though. Genuinely that's gotta be such a hard situation to deal with. I hope things get better for you soon.
Warren could actually legitimately connect to voters with reagan portraits in their living room that are rightfully disgusted by the big orange turdbaby, and despite her dweebishness at times she's far more normal and likeable than Hillary was, while Sanders falls victim too often to yelling at cloud syndrome
Trump has a very strong approval rating with Republican voters. Is it worth courting those few Republicans, or right-leaning independents, at the cost of bringing out the Democratic base?
and honestly only seems viable because he's got a dude with his brains oozing out of his ears to contrast him against standing on stage with him.
This is really uncharitable. Sanders seems viable, to me at least, because he's the furthest left candidate I've seen in my life with a real chance for winning. Do I think he will accomplish even half of what he intends? No, I don't expect any president to, but I do think his winning would symbolize a change that will give me hope in our country again. I, and many other people, are just sick of moderates using us to get elected and then forgetting about us.
